Hello Andrei, one remark.
I have being working with interface design for a while (8 years). I
understand your point but I like the perspective the label gives. I am
not focussed on the interface, but on the interaction. Talking about
screen-based interface this can sounds fuzzy. When you are talking
about designing "intelligent/responsive" products/ambient, where I can
define shape, hand-fit, textures and movement required to interact, I
am not designing the interface, but the interaction.
Aiming this type of tangible/physical/multimodal interaction I left my
former web-interface position do a master on Product Design, regarding
Design for Interaction. Take mobiles for instance, There we can see
loads of shapes, sizes and solutions that fits different interaction
styles, beyond the screen interface it self.
cheers,
Bernardo

This all sounds like revisionism to me.
As someone who's been practicing interface design for nearly 20
years, I can tell you there's never been a time where what you folks
describe as "interaction" was never a part of interface design as I
practiced it. I understand I'm probably in the minority here about
what I've been allowed to control and design in my career, but what
irks me the most is how the IxD community is taking over a term, and
in doing so, negating certain skill sets in the process. It all
feels as bad as the decision by some to call folks "user experience
designers."
It's always been about what the designer is expected to know and do
in their day to day work. Again, I don't care if in 20 years I'm
called an interaction designer, but the expectation better be that I
get accountability and control over the design of the interaction,
the visuals, and the information, along with the ability to budget
and pay for coding and building real prototypes.
